21 (2008)

""21" relies too heavily on music video montages to connect its cardboard characters."

Cole Smithey

Tomato
A

Antichrist (2009)

"...von Trier creates a tense and provocative horror film bound up in terms of psycho-therapy, sexual desire, and the shocking brutality of Mother Nature."

Cole Smithey

Tomato
B-

Blind Date (2009)

"As a theatrical filmic exercise, "Blind Date" is a fair experiment. Just don't go expecting to see a movie."

Cole Smithey

Tomato
A+

Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (1974)

"Fermented in a tragic romanticism placed firmly in a no-man's land between liberation and capitalism, Sam Peckinpah's 1974 thriller is a film that sticks in your mind's eye like a lingering sun spot."

Choke (2008)

"Chuck Palahnuik Talks to Cole Smithey About "Choke""

Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat (2003)

"Screenwriters Alec Berg, Jeff Schaffer, and Dave Mandel have expanded the 220 words of Dr. Seuss's endlessly readable 1957 children's book into a filmic pastiche of quirky jolts and visual gibes that Mike Myers prances over as the irrepressible Cat in the"

Extract (2009)

"You get the sense that if only Mike Judge made more pictures, he'd hit his stride alongside the likes of Apatow pretty quick."

Cole Smithey

C

Factory Girl (2007)

"Sienna Miller embodies Edie Sedgwick with a thoroughly convincing highwire act to match Guy Pierce's incarnation of Andy Warhol in Hickenlooper's perfunctory biopic."

Cole Smithey

Tomato
A-

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965)

"Russ Meyer's fetishistic vision of powerful bisexual amazons of mixed nationalities engaged in criminal super action exists in a cartoonish world of black and white humor where anything is possible"

Cole Smithey

Fat Albert (2004)

"Director Joel Zwick ("My Big Fat Greek Wedding") helms this redundant and distinctively shabby movie that wasn't even filmed in Philly."

Cole Smithey

Tomato
A+

Harold and Maude (1971)

"If there's one comedy to represent the woof and warp of the early '70s, "Harold and Maude" is it."

Cole Smithey

Tomato
A+

Inglourious Basterds (2009)

"Every film that Quentin Tarantino makes is a cinematic event of mammoth proportions, and this one is no different. It lives up to the director's brilliant international reputation and accordingly so does he."

Cole Smithey

Tomato
A+

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)

"Hitchcock couldn't have done a better job of ramping up the suspense in a horror film that is as much fun today as when it shocked audiences in the '50s."

Cole Smithey

Tomato
A+

La Dolce Vita (1960)

"The satire on display is so simultaneously subtle yet blatant that the movie itself is intoxicating."

Cole Smithey

Tomato
A+

Pixote (1981)

" "Pixote" is an amazing cinematic social document made with fury and passion by an uncompromising director. There has never been another film that approaches its depiction of Brazil's condemned youth, not even "City of God.""

Cole Smithey

Tomato
A+

Richard Pryor - Live on Sunset Strip (1982)

"There will always only ever be one Richard Pryor, and his profoundly inspired performance shows exactly why."

Cole Smithey

Splat

Romeo Must Die (2000)

"Compare Romeo Must Die to Li's brilliant Fist of Legend, and it'll break your heart."

Cole Smithey

Tomato
B+

Startup.com (2001)

"...an impromptu lesson in power, duty, and betrayal that goes well beyond traditional limitations of celluloid documentaries."

Cole Smithey

Splat
C+

Talk to Me (2007)

"The outsized talents of Don Cheadle, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Taraji Henson go a long way in compensating for the undernourished script about real-life ex-con-turned-Washington D.C. radio and TV personality Ralph Waldo "Petey" Green Jr. (Cheadle), who became"

Cole Smithey

Splat
C-

Tokyo! (2009)

"More of a curiosity than a cohesive sampling of cinematic visions, "Tokyo!" fails to impress."

Cole Smithey

Tomato
A+

The Wages of Fear (1952)

""Wages of Fear" is an uncompromising parable about money, greed, and man's jealous desire for that which he can never have. Yves Montand is outstanding in this gritty and unrelentingly suspenseful picture."

Cole Smithey

C-

Yours, Mine, & Ours (2005)

"Regardless of a distinct lack of romantic chemistry between Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo, the able-bodied actors fulfill the slapstick demands of this run-of-the-mill family comedy based on the 1968 movie with Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball."

Cole Smithey

Tomato

Dinosaur (2000)

"A fun film to watch."

FilmSleuth

Tomato

The Patriot (2000)

"The Patriot is nothing short of extraordinary."
